| Review: Klipsch Klipschorn Speaker Mike thanks for your email. Let's compare our notes! I'll respond privately to you both with a rather long-ish writeup. But not tonight; we have a big crash project going on here at the satellite uplink station that has me rather tied up for the n... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Dan yes: the inner conductor. Direction of the resistor is not an issue.Be aware however that the input sensitivity of the amp will be reduced somewhat, requiring a bit more drive level from the preamp source component. | |

| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Two posssible approaches Dan...A female-to-male add-on extension RCA connector set could be utilized with the series resistance incorporated therein. However just by adding the extension (even without any extra resistance built into it) you would ... | |
| Review: Klipsch Klipschorn Speaker Mike you've found the magic combination too: classic Klipsch's driven by fet's are the only way to fly.I have an audio salesman / friend who has the XRT20's, but when he really wants to sell someone who's "on the fence" he'll bring them not over t... | |

| How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage My experiences with stage & image have varied all over the map; the variables being electronics, cabling & tweaks, the only un-changing components being my speakers & their placement. In other words, I've realized everything from a tot... | |
| Renting Cables??? actually Bob Cohen at Cable Co's. fees are 10% for the first time, then 5% after that. You pay shipping both ways. They're an alright outfit & can provide reasonable suggestions, but they typically try to point you toward the cheapest alternat... | |
| CD v. SACD Hi Tom: here's a "radical alternative" if I may suggest?Would you (or anyone for that matter) be interested in a way to make ALL your current redbook CD's sound significantly better, & simultaneously be able to enjoy a higher-resolution format... | |
| Perreaux P250 Problem yeah that's the one alright... it was a very simple problem.Would you believe I fixed it myself, but I didn't know that it was actually fixed due to a really dumb mistake that I made upon reassembly. It was only a 2 dollar part; I'll only confess ... |
